Using Baseball-references Similarity scores, I was wondering which two players were the most similar (i.e. had the highest similiarity score).
The shorter your career, the better chance of being more similar, so I thought I'd put it in a couple of categories, and start off with the most similar I could find with a quick search
Less than 3,000 plate appearances: Curt Ford and Bob Will have a similarity score of 989
more than 3,000 plate appearances: Rip Repulski and George Altman have a similarity score of 977.
more then 6,000 plate appearances: Greg Luzinski and Roy Sievers have a similarity score of 943
Can anyone find players that are more similar?
(just for fun, I thought it was interesting that the most similar player to Rabbit Robinson was Kermit Wahl. Two great names)
